Nanny to Mommy

I partnered with The Hopping Bloggers for this sponsored Holiday Gift Guide.

It's that time of year again! We have so many little ones in our lives that I have decided to not just create a list of items my children would like, but also my nieces and even their friends. So this year's gift guide for kids is for just about everyone! I have joined up with The Hopping Bloggers to bring you some of this year's hot items that kids are sure to enjoy!

Favorite nighttime heroes Catboy, Owlette, and Gekko kick the action into high gear with the new PJ Masks Rival Racers Track Playset, based on Entertainment One's hit TV series "PJ Masks." Kids can play out the adventures seen in the show as they zoom through the raceway to save the Museum from Night Ninja! Launch the vehicles into action using one of two built in mega launchers, then zoom through the loop and around the curves. Watch out for Luna Girl when she pops-up on the track, then cross under the city bridge and race past Romeo to the finish line! The racing action is super-fast when PJ Masks are saving the day!
